• Artificial Intelligent (AI) agents are exponentially increasing in power and sophistication. With the addition of Open AI’s breakthrough new algorithm GPT-2 into the toolbox of developers the ability to mimic human dialogue and produce fake, but believable interactions between humans and computer-based agents is fully upon us. As I develop “AIBO” (Artificial Intelligent Brainwave Opera), an emotionally intelligent artificial intelligent brainwave opera, I am implementing a biased, or ‘sicko’ AI as one of the two main characters. This development has been created in response to one of my research questions, “Can an AI be fascist?” This paper explores the construction a ‘sicko’ or perverted AI for artistic use as part of the overall process based work of developing an AI brainwave opera.
